wtf is this garbage? got the anasazi velcros.... the worst rubber i have climbed on to date. its so hard it sounds like you are climbing in tap shoes on the gym walls. equally horrible outside. they edge well but stick worse than mad rocks.

words cant describe how much i hate this rubber

gonna get em resoled before i use em in the fall, thats for sure. id rather climb barefoot.

thats surprising. i love onyx rubber and the Anasazi velcros. one thing i do every now and then is use a wire a brush on the soles of the climbing shoes to clean them and remove the oxidized layer. it makes them more sticky.

The different thing about it is that it takes a few days for the rubber to "open up" and break in. So the first day or two climbing with them they will not be that great. Just use them in the gym a bit till they break in. Then they'll be great =)

Onyxx is doodoo, they fucked up bigtime when they switched from C4. Not buying those, again. Sorry you found out the same way I did. Seems like that crap sticks better in cool temps, if that helps. I wear mine our slowly on gumby climbs in the winter. Switched to Blancos and teal Women's anasazi til they figure out their mistake and correct it. Pontas climb about the same and rubber is not AS shitty. Often cheap, too. Decent heel.

Hope that helps. For those that like the Verdes, try the Blancos and see if you aren't impressed. WAAAAAY better.

I have both, I climb more in the Verdes (I think about 95% last year was in Verdes). I also just picked up a pair of Rogues.
